The Scottish Government

The Executive is committed to making sure older Scots have the opportunity to live independent lives. Independence enhances wellbeing and adds greatly to the quality of life.

The way people spend their time changes as they get older and for many there is more free time for taking up new activities, volunteering, trying out new sorts of work or learning.

• Want to learn?
  Opportunities to help access learning new skills and knowledge.
• Back into employment
  Initiatives to help older people who want to get back into the workforce.
• Be a volunteer
  Initiatives to support older people who want to volunteer.
